West Ham starting lineup vs Wolves confirmed as the Hammers look to get back on track in the Premier League.
David Moyes will be desperate for his West Ham side to bounce back in the Premier League from last weekend’s thrashing at Fulham with a win against Wolves today, and he’s named a very strong starting lineup.
The Hammers put in a top-class performance against Freiburg in the Europa League on Thursday night, and if the players produce the same today, we’ll win the game comfortably in my opinion.
Wolves will certainly be no pushovers though – they are extremely solid outfit, and are superbly well-coached by Gary O’Neill.
All three points is a must for West Ham today, if we are to remain in contention for a top seven finish in the table this season.
With league games against Manchester United at home and Arsenal away following the midweek Carabao Cup tie with Liverpool on Wednesday night, a defeat or even a draw today could spell trouble ahead for us.
So how has Moyes set up for today’s clash with Wolves?
West Ham starting lineup vs Wolves confirmed
Moyes has made one change from Thursday night’s win over Freiburg at the London Stadium.
Kurt Zouma comes into the side in place of 25-year-old Konstantinos Mavropanos, as confirmed via the club’s official Twitter account:
Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Nayef Aguerd, Kurt Zouma, Emerson Palmieri, Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek, James Ward-Prowse, Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen
That’s about as strong as the starting lineup could be in my opinion.
I just hope that the boys play with the same aggression and tempo that they displayed on Thursday night.
Some of the intricate football we played in the final third was a joy to watch as well, so more of that please.
As mentioned earlier, Wolves will be a proper test of where we’re at as a team today. They will make things hard for us, and our defenders will need to be 100% on their games, with the likes of Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia really capable of causing us problems.
The starting lineup selected by Moyes should be more than good enough to get the job done though. COYI X
